The app launches in July 2026 with a waitlist before then.

Do I need mountains nearby to train for one?

No. Train to Mountain builds mountain-specific fitness with treadmill-incline or stair work, loaded carries and strength, alongside real climbs when you can get them, so urban athletes can prepare properly.

Which watches and apps does it work with?

It connects directly to Garmin, Suunto, Coros, Apple and Polar, reading activities, heart-rate variability and sleep, with further integrations such as Strava being explored so your data moves with you.

What does it cost, and can I try it first?

The Physical Readiness assessment is free on the web. The full adaptive plan, built around a target summit, has a free trial, with the plan being generated. Using the full functionality of Train to Mountain is EUR 90 per month or EUR 600 per year. A maintenance training package at EUR 59 per year gives you weekly workouts without a target summit.
